Don't feel bad......

I'm in Germany and was on my way to another base on the Autobahn rolling (110-130MPH) when I see these projector lights at the distance behind me. I thought it was a VW Passat, so I punched it, thinking that he ain't passing me. Next I know, he is on my rear bumper and i'm at 140MPH. It was an '07 M3, I slid over, we looked at each other and shot the thumbs up, then he left me like I was stopped.:bluecry1. And I was pegged out.

It's a blast, but I don't do it all the time. I'm normally running around 90-110 most of the time. I only open it up if the road is pretty clear or if I want to harrass the usual unsuspecting VW Passat. Because traffic can be rolling one moment and the next thing you know, traffic screeches to a halt in the blink of an eye.

Been on the limiter once on twice - great to be able to say you've dun it - but I wasn't too keen on the sensation most traffic in uk moves at 80 ish - but when your approaching near double that speed things happen V quickly!

That's a clean little Bimmer you got there. Where are you stationed at? I know a guy that shoehorned an e39 M5 engine into one of those.

I'm in Heidelberg until June '08 and then I go to K-Town:bdance:bdance We have a decently sized group of guys that hang around here on the weekends at the Auto Craft shop and we all have E30's. One of the guys has a 325i with full M3 suspension and has a M30(735i) engine that is coming out to be replaced by a E36 M3 engine pretty soon. How far are you from H-Berg and is that pic in FOB Speicher?

I'm in Illesheim which you probably have never heard of (about 2 hrs east of Heidelberg). I've stayed at Vogelweh and Ramstein lodging a few times so I'm familiar with the K-town area. Good to hear you guys have a decent Auto Craft as ours is filthy with a poor selection of tools. The picture was taken in Udari, Kuwait. We launched the fleet into Iraq on that particular morning. We fly out of Balad (Anaconda) but one of our mission sets take us up around Speicher.
